Chapter 22 Daily Life (Part 3)
Mu Yu took off his glasses, put them in the glasses case, and lay down to think.
On the night of the class reunion, everything was normal.
They didn't invite teachers to this reunion. 48 people booked the entire club and played from noon to night.
There were four tables at dinner. A few people were particularly sentimental. They picked up the bottles of wine and said that it would be difficult to see each other again in the future, so they all drank together.
Many people laughed and said, it’s not difficult for anyone to meet you in the future. Many of us are in Xinlian University Town. If we want to meet, it’s just a matter of making an appointment on WeChat.
Mu Yu laughed as he listened, and secretly glanced at the handsome boy sitting at another table who was playing with his phone. The moment the boy felt his gaze and raised his head, he quickly looked away.
His heart was pounding, not because he was planning to do anything big, but simply because of the warm atmosphere.
Mu Yu never thought about confessing his feelings.
He hasn't thought about it yet.
There had never been any ambiguous signs between him and Lu Chongnian that were suitable for confession, so Mu Yu could not have made such a plan so abruptly.
Of course, if such ambiguous signs never appear - or, there is a high probability that they will never appear - perhaps he will eventually choose a day to end his youth.
It may be during the four years of college, it may be when they graduate from college, or it may be the day in the future when they enter society and meet again by chance on the busy streets.
Mu Yu drank the sweet and refreshing fruit wine, and at that moment he was just enjoying the feeling of being in the same space with the person he loved without any worries.
Later, several classmates who were on good terms with him came to chat with him, and the study committee member came to have a drink with him.
This girl can drink a lot, but she got drunk that day. She put her arm around Mu Yu's shoulder and said, "Class leader, I'm going to study in another place. Please keep in touch in the future. If you become successful, please take me with you."
——She didn’t know why, but she always felt that Mu Yu would be a rare talent in the future.
Mu Yu feels that he can just read some books and has no lofty ambitions for the future. It is enough for him to continue reading comics and novels and communicate with like-minded people while being a social animal.
He was not the best one in the family. His brothers and sisters were amazing, while he was very ordinary.
The lively atmosphere continued until eleven o'clock, when some students packed up and went home.
Mu Yu was not very drunk, but Hong Yang was. Ye Sui supported him, and the three of them were left together.
The club manager said that there was one vacant room on the second floor at the back, but there were many rooms on the third floor with their doors open, so they could choose one themselves.
Hong Yang was so drunk that he was almost unconscious and could not walk at all. Mu Yu waved his hand and asked Ye Sui to take him to the room on the second floor to rest, while he took the elevator to the third floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, he heard a conversation coming from the front.
Yan Shaowen supported Lu Chongnian and asked him about going abroad.
…
...I sobered up in an instant.
Mu Yu used to think that melodramatic things happen too often in real life, so they are put into novels and comics.
The stories created by humans are based on reality and rooted in reality. No matter how fantastic the fantasy is, the drama and conflict of the plot cannot surpass reality.
That night, when he was stopped by Yan Shaowen, his mind was full of thoughts: Why is Lu Zhongnian going abroad... ?
Yan Shaowen handed Lu Zhongnian to him, saying that he had to go downstairs to help, and asked him to take Lu Zhongnian to 305.
He also said: By the way, squad leader, you can also sleep in this room, should it be okay?
Mu Yu shook his head slowly.
After Yan Shaowen's figure disappeared at the stairs, he turned around and slowly walked forward, supporting Lu Chongnian.
Lu Chongnian is much taller than him.
She placed her arms on his shoulders, lowered her head slightly, and pressed down on him with her weight, as if covering his entire body.
The two of them didn't speak, and Mu Yu didn't dare to look back at Lu Chongnian, for fear that the latter was still awake and would notice his expression and ask him in confusion what was wrong.
But he could vaguely feel a quiet gaze falling on the side of his face.
My feet stepped on the carpet without making any sound.
Mu Yu was still wondering why Lu Chongnian was going abroad?
Didn’t they all get admitted to Lian University?
He thought he would complete his four years at Lian University. No matter what, they would go their separate ways only after four years.
During these four years, they may have the opportunity to meet each other in the university town, or even make an appointment with others to have dinner together on the weekend.
They will maintain that thread that seems to be there and not there, so fragile that it seems like it will break at any time, until the last 1,400 days of their youth are over.
The bubble of the beautiful dream suddenly burst.
...If Lu Zhongnian is about to go abroad, will he still have a chance to confess his love? Will they still have a chance to meet?
When he realized this, he stopped.
They stopped at the door of 305, which was the end of the corridor on the third floor.
Mu Yu turned around impulsively.
He was not used to having his plans disrupted, so his mind was a mess. What to say first, what to say later, would it be too abrupt to say it directly, should he talk about something else first and then move on to the topic, or should he just go straight to the point and run away? Mu Yu hadn't thought through anything.
He has never confessed his feelings and has zero experience.
He stared at Lu Chongnian in a daze, his breathing became disordered. Lu Chongnian leaned against the door frame and also looked down at him.
——It seemed like she was looking at him, but also like not.
The boy's gaze seemed to fall on his right shoulder, and his eyes were somewhat obscure and difficult to discern.
Mu Yu vaguely remembered that Lu Chongnian seemed to raise his hand at that time.
But that action was interrupted by him.
Because he acted on impulse, he didn't lay the groundwork or get straight to the point, and he didn't even say a word. He just grabbed Lu Zhongnian by the collar and pushed him straight in.
…
In the dormitory filled with snoring, Mu Yu turned over, faced the wall, and curled up her toes.
...He didn't know what was wrong with him at that time. It couldn't even be considered courage. It could only be said to be stupidity. To put it more seriously, it was an offense.
It was so shameful that his brain always automatically blurred that memory.
But at this moment, in order to find clues, he tried hard to recall some details of the time.
…
Kissing Lu Chongnian was his body's own action when his brain shut down.
Maybe the body thinks: Since your brain is not working anymore, just get off and let me take over. Does confessing love really have to be done with words?
Mu Yu dared to guarantee that Lu Zhongnian opened his eyes wide in surprise at that time, and the hand that Lu Zhongnian raised at that time should be his gentlemanly instinct.
A drunken boy's crazy talk was heard from the stairs, and Mu Yu somehow fell into room 305 with Lu Chongnian and fell on the carpet.
There was no light on in the room and the door closed automatically with a click.
He pressed on Lu Zhongnian, who still held his waist like a gentleman, their breathing intertwined and a little disordered.
Then in the darkness, Lu Zhongnian spoke, his voice becoming a little hoarse: "I'm a little drunk, squad leader, what are you doing?"
Mu Yu answered stupidly: "I was drunk too, I don't know..."
The sounds of breathing continued to intertwine, and neither he nor Lu Chongnian seemed to have any intention of calming down.
The belated shame swept over Mu Yu's whole body. He felt a surge of blood rushing to his head and then leaving with great fanfare, leaving his stiff and numb body with nowhere to hide.
He stood up suddenly and tried to escape, but was pulled back the next second.
When his lips touched those cool and soft lips again, Mu Yu's brain successfully crashed for the second time.
...After that, perhaps it was his first real kiss in his life.
In the darkness where they couldn't see each other clearly, with the frightening footsteps outside the door.
In the intertwined breath with Lu Chongnian, surrounded by the aroma of wine.
A hot, deep, immature, impulsive kiss.
Mu Yu didn't know how long the kiss lasted.
He didn't know how to time it. It just felt as short as a moment, and as long as it could take him to review his entire three years of high school life in which he could not leave the three words "Lu Chongnian" behind.
When it was over, their lips parted slightly.
They were still very close, their noses touching, their breathing rapid.
When Lu Zhongnian blinked, his eyelashes would leave a slight itch on his brow bone.
Mu Yu's Adam's apple rolled, his heart beat like a drum, and his voice became very hoarse: "... Lu Chongnian, what are you doing?"
In the darkness, the boy was silent.
Then she whispered in his ear, "...I don't know either."
…
Everything that happened afterwards can probably only be described as unstoppable.
Mu Yu wondered if Lu Chongnian had also drunk too much and couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman.
But when the phone fell out from somewhere and the screen lit up to show the birthday greetings text messages from his brothers and sisters, Lu Chongnian leaned on him and still had the mind to glance at it and ask him if his birthday was today?
Later, they both became even more excited and confused. Lu Zhongnian stroked his face, smiled and asked, "Squad leader, do you treat me as your birthday cake?"
Very amazing.
During the previous three years, they could not be said to be strangers, but they were definitely not familiar with each other either.
Our eyes often meet and our names are often mentioned together because of our achievements.
Probably everyone thinks that their relationship is "being in the same class, but that's all."
Mu Yu himself certainly didn't think so. He clearly remembered every minute and every second they had spent together, those private and unknown times.
For example, by the empty pool after physical education class in summer.
For example, on the basketball court in the evening after the students have dispersed.
For example, the corridor after school, or the bus stop in the rain.
Lu Zhongnian would turn his head casually, and when he saw him, he would curl his lips and shout, "Sergeant, what a coincidence."
It is difficult to explain why Mu Yu likes Lu Chongnian.
Of course he liked Lu Zhongnian's face. When he first stepped into the door of their class and saw Lu Zhongnian among the 47 classmates with whom he would fight for three years in the future, a bell rang in Mu Yu's heart.
He realized that, oh, it turns out that he likes boys.
Lu Chongnian is his preference.
The reason why this love can continue is naturally related to the soul of Lu Chongnian, apart from his beautiful appearance.
Mu Yu never expected that the shared, fragmented memories between the two would be as special to Lu Chongnian as they were in his own heart.
But that night, when he was dizzy, he looked at the way Lu Chongnian looked at him, and suddenly realized that maybe he was wrong.
Perhaps those memories are also different for Lu Chongnian.
It's just that he was too tired, too tired to speak, and all the questions in his heart could only be answered after he woke up the next day.
So he tried hard to support his precarious physical strength, while thinking vaguely that he must get up early tomorrow, earlier than Lu Chongnian.
He needs to sort out his thoughts, and then...
…
In the darkness, Mu Yu opened his eyes.
August 21, the morning after the class reunion.
It didn't go as he wished, Lu Chongnian was the one who woke up earlier.
When he opened his eyes, Lu Chongnian was already standing by the window.
When Lu Zhongnian turned around, he subconsciously closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
But Lu Zhongnian knew that he was awake, so he walked over and kissed his forehead.
Mu Yu was a little surprised and embarrassed, but Lu Zhongnian's kiss was a positive sign.
He opened his eyes and wanted to speak, but Lu Zhongnian didn't give him a chance. He moved his lips down and kissed him again.
The feeling of that kiss was... a little strange.
It was deeper, heavier, and more intense than the first kiss the night before.
Somewhat inexplicable.
Mu Yu was kissed until he was out of breath. Lu Zhongnian stepped back, rubbed his head, and said to him, it was still early, so he should sleep for a while.
After saying this, he stood up, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.
The last words the boy left in his memory were very gentle and calm.
"Wait for me in the room. I'll go get some breakfast and be back shortly."
…
Then what?
Then what happened?
Mu Yu searched all his memories, but couldn't remember anything that happened afterwards.
Was it the hangover?
But he didn't even remember how he stepped out of the door of Wenshan Club.
Lu Zhongnian's disappearance must have been caused by some incident.
Did the mysterious incident happen between August 21 and August 30... or did it happen on the morning of August 21?
